Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"Yahiko died because of their ambition, and one day, Konoha will also feel pain because of God's needs!"

After Nagato manipulated "Hanzo" to utter these words, the original body inside the tower began to fluctuate abnormally, and soon a strong killing intent erupted from the puppet:

“I’ll have the Amegakure ninja warn Jiraiya-sensei that this is not a place for him.”

Konan stared blankly into space, and as she recalled her childhood experiences living with Jiraiya, the girl lowered her head in anguish.

Furukawa Osamu's spirit easily sensed the relevant information. Instead of Obito arriving, Jiraiya arrived first:

Is it an obsession with the prophesied child?

Jiraiya, who had just emerged from the toad's mouth, carefully observed his surroundings and noticed that most of the Amegakure ninjas looked hurried, and a look of curiosity involuntarily appeared on his face.

Using his transformation jutsu, Jiraiya successfully infiltrated the tavern controlled by the Konoha ninja. As soon as he entered, he heard an argument between the two sides:

"Lord Hanzo has gone mad. Why can't we leave? We can't even get a decent job. We just want to survive."

"This is the growing pain of reform! How can Amegakure get out of its current predicament without purging the internal parasites?"

"Yes, even Hanzo's own relatives have been dealt with seriously. Under these circumstances, the Amegakure ninja will be able to rise again in at most two years!"

The crowd was arguing fiercely, each person saying their own opinion. Jiraiya overheard most of it and frowned deeply.

"The old man has awakened?"

"Or is someone pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

"Nagato, where are you now, the child of prophecy?"

Jiraiya ordered a cup of sake, intending to ponder while drinking, but he had only taken two sips when two Amegakure ninjas appeared beside him:

"Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, should leave the village as soon as possible."

"Lord Hanzo will not welcome you!"

All the ninjas in the tavern looked at the three of them. Jiraiya, however, didn't seem nervous. He chuckled twice and calmly replied:

"It seems I underestimated Hanzo. I didn't expect his control over the village to have reached this level."

"My purpose is simple: please take me to the burial site of the Akatsuki members. I just want to offer a few bouquets of flowers for my students."

The Jonin controlled by Nagato fell silent upon hearing these words, and only after a long while did he respond:

"In that case, please leave after your visit!"

“Those who betray the village don’t deserve respect. Come with me. I hope you won’t cause any trouble.”

As the three left the tavern and came out onto the street, a vortex suddenly appeared in a corner, and Obito, possessed by White Zetsu, appeared in a blind spot of the building.

"Is Jiraiya here to investigate the Rinnegan?"

"Yes, he knew a long time ago that Nagato possessed the Sage's Eyes, but now it seems that Nagato has no intention of meeting him."

White Zetsu responded in a low voice and collided quickly with the branches that sprouted from the ground. Obito immediately activated Hollowfication and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In his own private space, Obito was about to continue following Jiraiya when the White Zetsu on his body, having received a message from its companion, suddenly chuckled and warned him:

“Nagato intends to make Konoha feel his pain, and this seems to be your chance to win his trust.”

"Are you planning to support his actions? To destroy the village you once loved so deeply?"

As Obito considered the important role of the Rinnegan, his gaze deepened, and his scarlet eyes seemed to see the tragically murdered girl and his friend once more:

"I will subdue him."

"The destroyed village will be reborn in another world, and Lin will live there!"

Chapter 124 The Happy Life Entrusted by Obito...

In early March, Jiraiya returned from the Land of Rain without a word, and after being discovered multiple times, the infiltration operation completely failed.

The carnage in Amegakure continued, and during the period when the war had stopped, Furukawa Osamu's spirit obtained a lot of "death supplements" from there.

Nagato was very pleased to witness Konan's growth. Not only had her strength increased, but after a period of adaptation, the girl had also managed to organize Amegakure very well.

Xiao Nan was also surprised by her own governance skills; she could come up with answers to many problems in just one night.

The girl was unaware that something was wrong; her body and personality were changing, but she was completely oblivious to it at the moment.

To Furukawa Osamu's regret, the healthy Nagato became more independent and kept many things from Minami.

He had hoped to take the opportunity to collect the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, but his plan completely fell through...

-

In stark contrast to the oppressive atmosphere of Amegakure, it's cherry blossom season again in Konoha.

In order not to disappoint Obito's trust, Kakashi rarely took on missions during this period and spent every day with Rin Nohara.

Although the girl has lost her memory, she instinctively feels close to Kakashi.

The two, who were living together, developed feelings for each other rapidly, and their classmates often saw Kakashi and Rin Nohara holding hands on dates in the shopping district.

What's even more surprising is Kakashi's personality change.

The "cold-blooded Kakashi" has disappeared, and the lovey-dovey Kakashi has officially arrived...

Jiraiya has returned, and Minato Namikaze is enjoying a vacation. In the afternoon, while at a kimono shop with his wife, they see Kakashi and Rin Nohara. Kushina leans in and teases them with a mischievous grin:

"Wow, Kakashi, that's impressive! Are you two officially confirming your relationship?"

Exchanging kimonos signifies the official confirmation of a relationship; for fiancés and fiancés, marriage is just one step away.

Nohara Rin's face turned red. After losing her memory, Kushina often talked to her. She had originally intended to buy it secretly, but instead encountered her close older sister.

"I just wanted to make up for the regret of that year, and it's time for me to give Lin this gift."

Kakashi, dressed in a blue Jonin casual outfit, responded with a smile. Halfway through his sentence, he didn't forget to hold Nohara Rin's hand, a gesture so intimate that it almost made steam rise from the girl's head.

"Minato-sensei, I haven't been slacking off lately either. I'll need to ask you for your guidance sometime!"

Looking at the sunny and confident Kakashi, Minato Namikaze almost dropped his jaw. After returning from the Five Kage Summit, he had been busy on the front lines and had only heard about the two men's experiences, but he never expected it to turn out like this.

"Minato, what's with that expression?! You absolutely must spend some time training with Kakashi sometime!"

"They went through life and death together before they came together!"

Seeing his wife's red hair starting to flutter again, Minato immediately hugged her, readily agreeing, then looked at Kakashi and gave him a bright smile, saying:

"Kakashi, you can come to me anytime! I've been trying out some new techniques lately."

"It seems you've taken good care of Rin. Senior Sakumo will be happy for you both if he sees this."

In the past, Kakashi would always have a cold face when his father was mentioned, but now the situation was completely different. Kakashi nodded solemnly, remembering his father's instructions in the Pure Land.

Minato and Kushina, no longer acting as third wheels, voluntarily left. Thinking of Kakashi's change, Minato sighed softly:

"It's truly incredible that such a transformation could happen!"

Kakashi shared everything with the girl, and Kushina learned more about the situation through the amnesiac Rin Nohara:

"Rin told me that Kakashi met Sakumo-senpai!"

"Although I think it was a hallucination, it's a good thing to be able to resolve my inner conflict."

"Kakashi's transformation is wonderful! Seeing the two of them every day makes me feel like I've eaten honey!"

Seeing his wife's smile, Minato couldn't help but smile back. He was very happy that his disciple had changed so much.

In the evening, Kakashi brought Rin to the memorial stone. In addition to offering flowers to his father and some of his seniors as usual, the two also took great care of Obito's tombstone.

Because he was worried that mentioning Obito would upset Rin Nohara, Kakashi hadn't talked about Obito for a while.

"Obito, I almost broke our promise."

"I will tell Lin everything about you once she is feeling better."

Hearing Kakashi's whisper, Rin Nohara blinked her big eyes with curiosity, took her boyfriend's arm, and asked in a low voice:

"Kakashi, is he a very important person?"

"Obito is our hero!"

Obito's past performance at the Ninja Academy and during missions was rather poor. Kakashi, wanting to make a good impression on Rin Nohara, wore a respectful expression and earnestly said:

"Obito is a genius ninja of the Uchiha clan! With his talent, he might even have a chance to become Hokage in the future."

"Amazing!"

Rin Nohara gasped in surprise. Kakashi let out a long breath, looked at Obito's tombstone, and sighed inwardly once more:

"Obito, keep an eye on us. I'll take good care of Rin!"

-

In the herb laboratory of Konoha Hospital, Osamu Furukawa continued to infuse the new variety of herbs with the energy of [Gathering].

Unlike the thin natural energy infused in the early stages, as his spirit body continued to strengthen, Osamu Furukawa was even able to mix the collected life energy with natural energy, making the mutated herbs even more potent.

Although the effects are not always good, poison also has its value!

Osamu Furukawa also attempted to mix Sage Chakra to silently control drug users through medication, a new research direction he was exploring while awaiting his body's transformation.

The cultivation of the mother plant has been classified as top secret by the village. Tsunade arrived at the laboratory, looked at her diligent disciples, and immediately stepped forward to give them concerned instructions:

"Take a break, don't push yourself. It's not wartime now, so the need for herbs isn't that great."

"Teacher, this is not a difficult job for me!"

"My teacher has always kept the secret about the mutation of medicinal herbs from me. Now that we're going to trade them, I have to work hard too."

Furukawa Osamu responded earnestly, which touched Tsunade, but on the surface she appeared to be helpless.

As Tsunade wiped the mud off Furukawa Osamu's face, she muttered to herself:

"I didn't expect the Uchiha clan to be researching Kyogenmaru so deeply. No wonder Fugaku Uchiha wanted to do herbal medicine trade."

"Relying solely on drug stimulation can only increase pupil power to a certain extent."

"The secretion of chakra in the brain is very complex, and they have oversimplified it."

"After all, this is the first request the teacher made after taking office, and it's just some basic herbs, so there's no need to refuse."

Furukawa Osamu smiled and offered his advice: the Madness Pill was already an outdated product for him; the mutated herbs with better medicinal effects had evolved three generations in experiments.

Tsunade nodded in agreement. With only a few months left before taking office, and the Uchiha clan's unwavering support, she felt she had to repay them.

"Teacher, don't forget the help from the Akimichi clan. I've already prepared the method for making the new medicine. We can go visit them together in a few days."

"You're so nagging! I've got it all in my head!"

Tsunade muttered a complaint, tilting her head slightly to look at Furukawa Osamu. This feeling of being taken care of was hard for her to let go of. Noticing the sound at the door, she subconsciously loosened her arms that were wrapped around him.

Silently, clutching a folder, ran into the lab. The girl excitedly showed the two of them the report:

"Teacher, Xiu, we succeeded! We completed the surgery by activating the spine with the help of surgical techniques, and there were no problems during the process!"

"The success rate has improved a lot recently, and some seriously injured ninjas are thanking their teacher."

"Great! Don't get arrogant, tell everyone to keep it up."

Tsunade gave her a solemn instruction, and seeing Shizune nod happily, she breathed a sigh of relief. In terms of medical ninjutsu, she had also been surpassed by Furukawa Osamu.

-

Late at night, in the underground laboratory on the west side of the village, Osamu Furukawa looked at the Leaf Village and materials that the Green Snake had spat out, and was speechless.

"Is this considered rational use of resources?...

The green snake's enormous head displayed a human-like aggrieved expression; although its body possessed spatial abilities, it did not want to be a "transport snake."

"Master Xiu, can you assist me in cultivating immortal arts? Qingqing is willing to do anything."

"You are a ferocious giant serpent! Stop looking like that all the time."

Furukawa Osamu pushed away the green snake that was rubbing against him. The snake was getting bigger and bigger, and in another month, the laboratory would probably not be able to hold it.

"It's too dangerous to cultivate immortal arts in Ryuchi Cave. The White Snake will eat any snake that fails."

"If Qingqing succeeds in her cultivation, I am willing to offer all my secret techniques to Master Xiu."

"Without you, I would still be an ignorant little snake..."

Furukawa Osamu was utterly speechless at the sight of the suddenly weeping green snake. He helplessly stroked the enormous snake's head and finally agreed.

"My spirit can assist you in your cultivation, but be careful not to be discovered by the White Snake Immortal and the others, and send my spirit back periodically."
